25. Yes. I have an anecdote

Jul 2022

I was talking to a contractor this afternoon. He told me his wife died of Covid last year and that was a wake up call for him. He said his late wife had been a big Trump supporter. Since she passed he told me he's been doing some deep thinking. He said his he and his wife were tricked. He said Trump lied to him. He said his pastor lied to him. The TN Republicans lied to him and he was finally done. Once he's done with one last big construction job, he's moving to the Philippines and giving up on America. He's already bought a home over there and will be spending his final days having fun with some of his old Army buddies.

That's two votes gone forever.
